Re: "free buffer waits" under eXtreme Transaction Loads

Hello
Even if the "free buffer waits" looks interesting I would try to fix the "log file sync" first since this is the wait that uses the most time in the statspack report. When you reduced the I/O problem you have on the redo log files will
influence the "free buffer waits" as well.
